man. thinking tonight about hope chests and courtship and gourds.
#leo.txt#idk. being courted was like. everything in our circles for a lot of my childhood#when jacob started talking about courtship it was like. a rite of passage. a symbol of maturity for both of us#like being able to take communion. yknow?#and now i fill my own hope chest. mothers would talk about how their sons would leave gourds on tbe porches of girls they wanted to court#and it wasnt something anybody really BELIEVED but we all hoped.#you know?#it wasnt appropriate to approach a boy. he had yo approach you#with a chaperone of course#i dunno. it felt like being protected. and then i realized it wasnt to protect ME.#and now i fill my own hope chest. and yhe most i hope for is a roommate whos polite. yknow?
